On September 23, 2026, the New York City Bar will be hosting the 25th edition of its annual “Hot Topics in Advertising & Marketing Law ” program. The program, which provides CLE credits, will be held virtually, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

When we created this program 25 years ago, the goal was to provide an annual update to marketers on the most important legal developments from the past year and to give them key insights into what to expect in the coming year. Over the years, we've had great speakers from government, self-regulation, and brands, as well as from outside counsel from the U.S. and around the world.

This year, to mark the 25th anniversary of the program, we'll first take a look back at how advertising law has changed over the last 25 years, and how those developments will impact advertisers' decision-making in the future. Then, we'll cover current federal, state, and local enforcement actions and priorities, as well as self-regulatory enforcement and guidance, and other hot topics, in order to help advertisers and their counsel get up to speed for the next 25 years!

Here's the agenda:

How Has Advertising Law Evolved Over the Last 25 Years?
